Scale and Subject

This 1/48 scale diecast model depicts the Supermarine Spitfire Mk Vb flown by Flying Officer Jack Sheppard of RCAF No. 401 Squadron in 1943. It is an officially licensed collectible aimed at adult enthusiasts of military aviation history.

Display Constraints

The model measures approximately 7.5 inches in length with a 9.25 inch wingspan, fixing its footprint on a shelf. The included display stand is the intended mounting method; no alternative hanging points or wall-mount hardware are described in the specifications.

Construction and Daily Handling

Diecast metal and plastic construction gives the model a heavy, realistic feel while the detailed exterior features realistic panel lines, antennas and access panels. An opening canopy reveals a pilot figure inside, so occasional dusting of the cockpit area will be needed if the canopy is left open.
